TURBO MODE
(Activated at time of installation)
This mode allows the engine to be left running at idle speed for a short period of time so that the turbocharger can cool down

This mode activates the continuous mode at a reduced runtime (one or two minutes according to the programming).
To activate the Turbo Mode, press on the
(2 sec.) button (refer to ‘Continuous Mode’).
